Lancet-3

The Lancet-3 is a **loitering munition** (kamikaze drone) manufactured by ZALA Aero Group, a subsidiary of Russia's Kalashnikov Group, designed for both reconnaissance and strike missions against armored vehicles, tanks, and artillery systems. It features a 12 kg weight, 3 kg maximum payload, 40-minute flight endurance, and 40 km range, with optical-electronic guidance that allows operators to confirm targets before engagement. The drone is powered by an electric motor and can autonomously seek and track targets using an NVIDIA Jetson AI module, achieving speeds of 80-110 km/h in cruise and up to 300 km/h in dive attacks.
